SAID AT THE COUNCIL MEETING

Alderman Pitcher: "A water supply
from the Blue Earth river will be very
satisfactory to the people for domestic
purposes. The Board of Health, physi-
clans, ETC., all testify to this. The place
for reservoir is on the brow of the
bluff, as the back of the bluff slopes
down. This will give the water system
to the part of the city located on the
bluff. where, hold, the principal settle
ment of the city will be in the future.
$40, 900 will build the reservoir, put in
pumps, pipes, ETC., in fact, cover every
thing except the purchase of what
ground may be needed"
Alderman pougherty: every coun-
ell has new plan for water works. One
wants hole dug in one end 'of town,
and another wants reservoir placed in
the other end We must do enough
work on our plan 80 as to settle the sys-
tenn"
Alder man Boegen: "This city should
do as other cities do. ltshould itselfla lay
the curbstone on whole block at once,
and then the sidewalk will be perfectly
level and uniform. At present, with
each person building his own walk, there
are steps several inches high in many
places where new walks have been laid
down."

A SICKENING DISASTER.

An Express Train Dashes Unaware
Into the Midst of a Gang of La
borers.
New YORK, July 2l.-One of those
frightful accidents which come with APP
palling suddenness, when there is no
apparent reason WHY they could not he
easily avoided, took place this morning
on the Erie road, between Allendale and
Hohokus. The catastrophe was attend
ed with appalling loss of life and over a
dozen mangled bodies on the track at
tested the neglect Of some one, whose
duty it should have been TO give warn
ing of the impending danger. A gang
of Italian laborers were at work ballast
ing OIL the railroad, little distance from
sharp curve. The Chicago express,
due an hour before. had not arrived,
and these men were busy at work, I'M
conClOus of the terrible fate in store for
them. At quarter past O'Clock the
delayed express rushed round the curve
before the men had the slightest warn
ing and dashed through them, killing IL
or loon the spot and wounding many
others. The shrieks of the victims were
heart rendering, and when the train
slowed up, the track presented sicken-
ing sight, being covered with mangled
bodies, the rails apattered with blood
and broken limbs, and pieces of ragged
flesh scattered in all directions. Some
of the bodies were mangled beyond
description and crushed out all semb-
lance humanity. TO most of the victims
death must have come instantaneouslv,
but some OF them appeared yet CULVER
ing, and life just ebbing away when the
train was brought to stand still. After
15 minutes delay the train which
wrought so much disaster proceeded on
its way from Allendale to Hohokus. The
question of who is to blame is yet to be
settled, but it is claimed it was the duty
of the foreman of the gang of laborers to
watch for approaching trains at danger
Gus curves, and he must have neglected |
TO give warning.

THE much talked of $500" canal con-
vention met yesterday morning, and fin
ished its business last evening. The at
tendance was large, and letters of regret
were read from number of those una
bic to attend, among them Senator Ev-
arts, Sherman, Sabin, Cullom and 9TH
ers. Senator Palmer, of Detroit, was
elected permanent president, and w. F.
Phelps, of Duluth, secretary. A long
list of vice-presidents were selected
Committees on resolutions, organization
and credentials were also selected. The
main business transacted by the conven-
ton was the adoption of a memorial to
Congress. 1t was read by Jas. r. Smith,
president of the Buffalo merchants ex-
change, and it presents an extensive ex-
hibit, showing the business of the lakes
and the importance of unhampered
transit. The memorial stated that the
product of four thousand acres of Dako-
ia wheat farms passed through the locks
only yesterday on single vessel, and
on the same day sixty-ive vessels were
locked through. The memorial showed
the importance of the immediate COM
pletion of the new and larger locks, and
urged the appropriation at once of the
gross amount needed to complete the
work and improve the lower channel
through Hay lake into Lake Huron. The
memorial was unanimously adopted,
and the convention adjourned.

Its Symptoms and Treatment--A

Wave.

Its Symptoms and Treatment--A
Subject for Study During a Hot
Wave.
A sudden prostratiOn of the nervous
system resulting from extreme heat is,
says a medical journal, commonly called
sunstroke. 1t is a mistake, however, to
suppose that exposure TO the suns rays
is necessary to produce this prostration,
for workingmen who are exposed all
day to the scorching sun do not have
sunstroke as often as persons of seden-
tary habits who walk on the shady side
of the street.
The usual symptoms indicating an at
tack of sunstroke are full, heavy feel
Ing in the head, dizziness, ringing in the
ears, deranged vision, faintness and diff
ficult breathing; but sometimes the pa
tent falls unconscious without any of
these symptoms being present, and
without the slightest warming. In Sc
we're cases death may ensue in few
hours. Those who recover from an at
tack do so slowly, and continue to be
greatly FRUSTRATED for some after, dizzi-
ness and faintness coming on after the
slightest mental effort, while the full,
distressed feeling in the head continues
for months afterward.
Sunstroke is best avoided by immedi-
ately ceasing all mental or physical eff
fort as soon as the first symptoms of
prostration are felt, and, above all, by
avoiding the drinking of ice water when
overheated. The head should be pro-
tected by a sunshade, and care should
be taken to keep the digestive organs
healthy by using light food. When an
attack occurs the patient should be re-
moved to a cool place and placed in re-
cumbent position; cold water or ice-bags
should be applied to the head, and mus
tard paste, capsicum or other stimulants
to the extremities and over the stomach.
Hartshorn should be held to the nose,
and as soon as the patient can swallow
an ounce of brandy, with ten drops of
essence of ginger, should be swallowed.
When improvement begins the patient
must be kept as quiet as possible, and
all exposure to the heat avoided for the |
balance of the Summer. !

MUST WAIT.

The question has several times been
asked why the officers of the Southern
Minnesota Live Stock and FAIR AssoGa-
ton do not bestir themselves and get the
printed matter into circulation for the
annual fair. The answer is simply this
Nothing can be done until after the
special election TO be held in this city on
the 18th inst. If the bonds are voted
and the city comes in possession of the
property, there will be no question
about the association being able to lease
the grounds. Ifthe proposition 10 pur-
chase be voted down and the land is
bought by private individuals, it will
then remain an open question whether
or not the grounds can be leased for fair
purposes. The three years. lease has
expired, and cannot be renewed with
the present owner, and he desires to
dispose of it. 1t behooves our people,
to vote the bonds, and thus
insure the continuance of tn, annual
agricultural fair.

COLLAPSE OF THE COTTON COR
NER,

One more corner has busted" and
tho men who sought taadd millions to
their bank accounts by engineering a
fictitious rise in the price of cotton are
sadder if not wiser, AID the balance is
on the wrong side of their bank book.
The hero of this latest corner is Gal
weston man by the name of Runge, who
has been known as a fairly Successful
Spectator. He dabbled in wheat for
Il while and is reported to have made
$500, 900 by selling out before the recent
break of the celebrated clique. In Feb
ruarv last Runge conceived the grand
idea of mammoth cotton corner and
interested in 1t capitalists of New York,
Liverpool, Texas and Chicago. The re-
port goes that the sum the syndicate in.
vested was near fifteen million dollars
it being proposed to control the market
in both New York and Liverpool.
But, as the Chicago Inter- Ocean says,
the entire syndicate could not compete
with nature, and when the reports be-
gan to show that the gro wing cotton crop
would be greater than any ever before
raised, operators became alarmed and
the corner began to totter. Now it has
gone down and taken number of men,
ambitious to become rich suddenly,
with it. After demoralizing the market
and preventing The export of cotton for
months, it completely fails. AS in all
other attempts at corners nobody has
been benefited thereby, but the injury
can not be calculated. Legitimate trade
has been seriously injured, and the
spectators have have been ruined.
Such is the result of all the corners
wheat, coffee and cotton-and We re-
peat what we have said before: city
boards of trade must take means to rem
der corners impossible. or as organIza
tons they will become by-words In the
mouths of honest men.

Trouble In the Coke Regions.

GREENsBuRG, Pa, July 20.-It is ru-
mored that a conflict has occurred be-
tween the miners at the works at the
Mammoth Coke Works and the strikers
party. Forty strikers marched to the
works this afternoon, and after driving
off Sheriff Byers and six deputies, forced
fifteen men at work to quit. In the
melee three non-union men were
knocked down and severely beaten.
Shetif Byers called upon the Governor
for militia to protect the men, as he says
his force is inadequate, and destruction
of property and perhaps loss of life may
result. The strikers are ugly, and the
impression in West Moreland county is
that the strike is very far from settle
ment, Observation-Disclosures action of yes
terday's convention.

NO FEAR FROM LOCUSTS.

The serious nature of the Farmers in
formation from the grasshopper affiict-
ed region about Perham, Otter Tail Co,
Minnesota, led to a thorough investi-
CATION of the matter by that enterpris-
ing journal. The result is sufficiently
satisfactory to cause rejoicing, and not
only among the farmers whose crops
have been devastated and to whom the
outlook for the future seemed so gloomy,
but to other sections of the state that
had reason to fear the terrible invasion,
had the insect proved to be the genuine
Rocky Mountain locust that ravaged
their fields few years ago. The in
sects are simply the common grasshop-
pers of the country, through favorable
circumstances, in greater number than
usual The affiiction, of course, is a sad
one to the farmers of Perham township
who have been stripped of about every
farm and garden product. Some OF
them may need the pocket book sympa'
thy of the more fortunate; they will
have nothing to harvest and nothing to
SOW next year. With proper aid, which
should be given literally, they may take
courage and go on, for there is little
probability ola return of the plague

IMPORTANT IF TRUE.
Another Statement as to the Presi-
dents Plans.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, July 20.-A special
from Washington to the Eagle says: 1t
is the present intention of the Presi-
dent, though not formally expressed, to
take trip to Philadelphia in September
during the centennial celebration of the
adoption Of the constitution by the con-
vention of 1857, and then to return here
to await the time arranged for his West
ern tour. 1t Is not improbable that he
will visit the northern tier of States,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Northern Ohio. with few days at Buff
falo and IN Western New York. He has
also still in mind trip to the South,
which viii take In the coast states to At
lanta, returning northward through the
interior states, taking in West Virginia
and Maryland. In conversing upon the
subject of these trips the President in
timated that his previous occupation
and disposition to stop at home had de-
prived him of that personal knowledge
of the different sections of the country,
their people and their interests, which
it was now important for him to have.
When he returns tomorrow he will have
his hands full with politics and polite
ians

THREE of the mammoth elevators ofthe
st. Anthony Elevator Company at Min
neapolis were burned early last evening.
The fire was the largest and most de-
s.ructive that has ever occurred in that
city, the total loss being not far from a
q million dollars. About one-tenth of
the visible supply of wheat in the north
west was stored in these elevators and at
least a million bushels of it was ruined.
T loss on the buildings and machinery
as well as contents is supposed to be COW

New York Times: Apparently moth
ing but law absolutely requiring such
structures to be fire-proof will put an
end to the criminal risks taken in stor-
ing other peoples property, and there
is doubt if even such a law would be eff
fectual, as unfortunately laws will not
enforce themselves.
New York Star: Hoodlums and mobs
are the same everywhere, but Mexico,
as represented by her intelligence and
worth and public policy, is grateful to
this country. There is no jealousy, no
suspicion, no hatred, nothing but an af-
fectionate remembrance of our great
kindness i'm the hour of her darkest
need, and an unquestioning faith in our
abiding sympathy and friendship for the
future.
New York Tribune: So long as this
city does not contain a majority of
scoundrels the people have it in their
power to keep villains in subsection.
They have just witnessed an impressive
manifestation of the majestic force
which resides in their united purpose.
and it will be their own fault if New
York once more becomes a safe place
in which to conspire against the laws of
God and man.

A Rumor that Stanley, the African
Explorer, has met his Death in his
Search for Emin Bey.
LONDON, July 2l.-A bulletin dispatch
from st, Thomas, West Africa, says
Toe West African company has received
report that Henry III. Stanley, the Afri-
can explorer, has been shot dead by ma
tives with whom his expedition was
fighting in order to obtain supplies,
Another account says the steamer on
which Stanley was proceeding to the
relief of Emmin Bey was sunk and the
explorer drowned. The report of Stan
ley's death Eliminates from a missionary
at Matadl, who received It from native
from the up country, No direct mes
sage was received from the expedition.

ONO Democrats did not show a very
great degree of shrewdness this after.
noon in nominating Thos. Z. Powell, OF
Delaware, for Governor. The conyen-
ton had it in their power to put up a
ticket that contained some elements of
strength, and one which would have
caused Republicans some anxiety. But
they did not embrace the opportu-
nitv. They have nominatedIa man who
is comparatively unknown, even in his
own state, and one who enjoys the open
hostility Of the Kid or Payne faction in
the state. Many Democratic as well as
Republican candidate has learned to
his sorrow what the antagonism of the
Payne-Standard Oil interest in Ohio
means. Powell is a protege of George
+. Pendleton's, and when that gentle
man was appointed minister to Germany
he offered Powell the position of private
secretary. The man who brought out
Powell for governor was Sim Donavin,
who openly made the charges of bribery
against Senator Payne. Powell may
have the apparent support of the Payne
faction, but in reality they will knife
him, and no one is more adept in that
sort of work. Foran, of Cleveland,
would have made a strong run. He has
the reputation of being identified with
the workingmen, although that is only
demagoguery, and besides has always
had his congressional campaigns liberal
" escaped" by the Paynes. Camp
bell, of Butler county, would have
given the Republicans much more con-
Germ than Powell. He is popular with
the soldiers, and has recently openly
criticised the Presidents battle-fiag or
der. The lack of interest i'm the conyen-
ton exhibited by the small turn out and
the nomination of the remainder of the
ticket by reclamation shows that the
party leaders themselves have no hope
that Governor Foraker can be beaten.
